I wrote a blog about Christopher Reeve and the Reevefoundation joined me on Twitter thanking me, and, they put a link to my blog as their new update. That is just so amazing.

Hope it doesn't sound like I'm bragging. I'm actually just so proud and had to tell somebody before bursting!!

Wow.

Okay, thanks for listening.

Just goes to show someone is out there watching and appearantly they approved of what you had to say. Congrats...

folkchick · Feb 2, 2010

Yeah, that's a nice feeling! And I also love that people who need a little inspiration will get to read it. I'm getting all vaclempt.

Wow. The nearest thing to that happening to me was when I tweeted with a http://lmgtfy.com link and who else but http://twitter.com/lmgtfy followed me.

Speaking of blogging, I should write a new blogpost someday.

That is really, really cool! He inspired my mom so much when she got sick enough to have a hard time going out much.

folkchick · Feb 2, 2010

Ben, that's funny! I had to google it just to see, haha.

backslashbaby, I love Christopher Reeve so much. My family is so sick of me watching Superman and and Somewhere in Time. Glad your mom found inspiration!

'Superman' is one of my all time favorite films. And Christopher Reeve was an impressive man. Very cool for you!

No, but I should have! I sort of walked into the living room in shock. "Oh by the way . . ."

I should go find it and make a screen capture just for vanity.

Congrats, Amy. It's neat that the foundation found out about your blog and cooler still that you were moved to write about someone that inspired you.

Matera the Mad · Feb 3, 2010

Just goes to show, content still rules. Congrats - you have a blog that others find worthwhile

They probably saw it via Google Alerts. I use this service so I always know when and where my company's products are discussed online and can respond in an appropriate and timely manner.

I blogged about my finished WIP and some of the things I went through writing it.

I get a half dozen Google alerts, including variations of my name and nickname. Its fun when a complete stranger mentions you and you can show up a day later to either thank them or defend yourself.

If you write it, they will read.

I saw Christopher Reeve and Julie Haggerty doing "Love Letters" in a small theater about six months before he had his accident. Having been in the same room with him somehow made it more real, and more heartbreaking.
